Universe, I am confused on how to feel about this.... on the one hand, I think we have enough going on.
on the other hand... grey goo would cleanse everything.... EVERYTHING.

More likely, it would either kill our species with 100% efficacy, or it would wipe out a key species required for humans to live, like bees.

@thegibson Reminds me a lot of the _Rifters_ trilogy by Peter Watts.

@thegibson I'm tired of living in a DC comic. Lex Luthor and the Joker working on bizarro microbes. We need Silver Surfer to cross over and deal with these guys.

@TheGibson this has strong β€œSweet Meteor Of Death” vibes.

@thegibson Seems less like grey goo and more like the T-Virus, but I guess from the perspective of society it's more or less the same.

@thegibson if you haven't read "seven eves" you might like it if this issue is interesting to you.
